WIPO Case: A Predicable Outcome

[Ceres]

Another WIPO decision…. The respondent, who is located in India, had the domain ActiviaChalenge.com cancelled.

IMHO, the outcome of this WIPO complaint was very predicable because:

- the complainant (Danone) owns the well-known mark ACTIVIA
- it ran an advertising campaign on its program called the "Activia Challenge"
- Danone has a presence in India, where the respondent is located
- the domain had pay-per-click links that related to Danone

There was no response from the respondent.

BTW, to date, Danone has won two cases via INDRP.

Looks like a no brainer case. Good for Danone to protect their brand.

In another WIPO decision, the domain ActiviaDanone.com was cancelled. Again, the result is not surprising!
